The Thunder Strike Divine Silkworms were incredibly fast. Once they transformed into lightning, they could ignore many attacks and break through the interception of formations and restrictions. Even Ling Tian's hastily deployed measures couldn't stop them. Some had already rushed ahead of him, meaning he was now surrounded.
From what Ling Tian and the others knew of the Thunder Strike Divine Silkworms, once they spun silk and wrapped it around him, his speed would inevitably slow. That would give the Thunder Strike Sect cultivators pursuing him a chance to catch up. And once they closed the distance enough, Ling Tian would have to face their long-range attacks. Even he would struggle against attacks from cultivators in the middle and late stages of the Twenty-eighth Heaven of Near-Saint. After that, escaping would be impossible.
Fortunately, Ling Tian could still use Phantom Clone, teleportation, and other secret techniques to force his way out of the Thunder Strike Divine Silkworms' encirclement. He could also dodge their silk. At least for the moment, he could hold on.
But Ling Tian knew that this couldn't go on forever. He had to find a way to deal with the Thunder Strike Divine Silkworms. He hadn't thought of a good solution yet, so all he could do was put as much distance as possible between himself and the Thunder Strike Sect cultivators and buy some time. Then he could focus on the silkworms. He could use Phantom Combo, while joining Chi Xue and the others in a sweeping group assault. Under a barrage of attacks from all sides, taking out some of the Thunder Strike Divine Silkworms shouldn't be too difficult.
"Exactly. With all of us attacking together—and covering the whole area—we'll definitely be able to deal with these Thunder Strike Divine Silkworms," Tu Yao said confidently.
